//------------------------------// // Epilogue: Happiness // Story: Why I Hate Loving a Rainbow // by FailWhale //------------------------------// Hi everypony! It's Pinkie Pie again, if you don't know me, but I don't see how you WOULDN'T know me, seeing as I'm one of the happiest mares in Ponyville and I'm not afraid to show it! I like throwing parties, I really like having friends who care about me, and I really REALLY like to have fun! Most of all, I love a rainbow. She's made me the happiest mare that I've been in the longest time. She's smart, she's fast, she's fun to be around, she's beautiful, and all around, just plain amazing! Whenever I saw her before, my mind would get all muddled and fuddled and I wouldn't be able to think straight. Now that we're together, my mind is clearer than ever when she's in the picture. And, that also lets me be even more "Pinkie Pie" that I thought was even possible! Whenever she smiles or laughs, I get filled with a warm feeling, even more so that I used to. But, the opposite is true too; whenever she gets angry or yells at me, I can't even fake being happy anymore. My mane still hasn't gone straight, but she says that I will over time. But what does she know? I can't even hear her that much anymore. The key words were "that much"; I can still hear her sometimes when it's dark and when I'm trying to sleep. She tells me that everything is going to go wrong. Rainbow Dash is going to hurt me, she's going to leave me, she's going to do everything that would break my heart. I sometimes believe her too. It makes me cry. But, when Rainbow Dash hears me crying, she goes over and hugs me as tight as she can, and she tells me that everything will be alright. The sound of her voice, the smell of her coat, the sight of her loving eyes, everything convinces me that Rainbow Dash is telling the truth. That shuts the voice inside right up. She knows about everything that happened a month ago. I told her about it, and I made her read my journal too. She didn't really want to, saying things about it "being too personal" and that it "doesn't feel right for me to read it", but I didn't want there to be any secrets between us. She really cares about me, and I really appreciate it. I remember when we told our friends about us being together. It was about a week after we started the relationship. The hardest one to tell was Applejack; her family is really old-fashioned, and she doesn't believe that two fillies should be together. But, even though she didn't agree at first, she came around eventually, and she's the one who comments the most about how Rainbow Dash and I look adorable together. Fluttershy, well, she already knew about my feelings towards Rainbow Dash, and she was completely supportive from the start. Once Rarity found out about what happened, she thought that Rainbow Dash should've told me sooner, back when I kissed her after the crate fell. She said it would be really romantic; Rainbow Dash said that she was reading too many romance novels. Twilight wants to study us to see what makes a mare attractive to another. I think she's wasting her time, but what can I say? She's Twilight. I think I've said enough already. I love Rainbow Dash with all of my heart, as corny as that sounds. Or, does it sound cheesy? Icky? I don't know, too many ways to describe it...sorry, I'm getting off track again! She's the one, I know it. She's the mare that I want to spend the rest of my life with. But, I'm not sure if she's ready for that yet. I know that I am, but instead of being Pinkie and going right after her, I think I'll wait. It doesn't sound like me, but being in a relationship changes you. Sometimes it's bad, sometimes it's good. One thing is for certain: being together with somepony changes your outlook. You see things differently. I know that I do. I'm not sure if I'm going to write in this journal anymore. If I have anything secret to say, I just need to talk to Rainbow Dash. So, this is probably going to be my last entry. I need to wrap things up quickly, because I have a date with Rainbow Dash that I'm going to be late for in three minutes. Thank you so much, everypony. Like I said at the start, I don't know who's reading this or who I'm writing to, but I still want to thank anypony who's read this. Writing in this helped me clear up my thoughts. It helped me make the decisions I needed to to change my life. I don't need it anymore, because Rainbow Dash is helping me make those decisions now. Goodbye, everypony. May your life always be wonderful! ~Pinkamena Diane Pie The End. And that's the end of Why I Hate Loving A Rainbow. Sorry for the exceptionally long hiatus, but I had some comp problems that are now fixed. Anyway, I don't think that this epilogue did the story justice, but I hope that it's enough. Thanks to anyone who read this and gave feedback, it was really appreciated. Now, to pen other tales!
